Governance and Board

Board Governance Policy

The Board acts collectively through mission fidelity, institutional independence, documented decisions, financial stewardship, ethical accountability, risk oversight, and continuity. During Founder-led governance it exercises meaningful oversight and reserved powers but is not ordinary executive authority; after formal transition it becomes principal institutional governing authority. Board size, terms, appointments, removals, quorum, voting, upward rounding, and fixed-denominator recusal follow the Constitution and Bylaws. Informal direction, engineered vacancies or recusals, committees, and operational access controls may not bypass those documents.
